Istanbul (Turkey) Affiliated Institution: International House New York Group Leader: Pegah Malek-Ahmadi Pegah.Malekahmadi@Gmail.Com Culture for Peace Location: Istanbul (Turkey) Affiliated institution: International House New York Group Leader: Pegah Malek-Ahmadi [email protected] SECTION 1: Narrative Culture for Peace aims to help children from different communities of the Middle-East to learn about their common history, encouraging them to focus more on their similarities and rather than on their differences. More precisely, the project brought together a group of 30 Syrian, Turkish, and Kurdish children living in Istanbul for helping them to: Develop a strong concern about the preservation of the cultural heritage of the Middle-East. Explore beautiful historical places of Turkey together so that they feel more integrated. Express their full potential through artistic creations based on what they learned. Cooperate with each other for their collective exhibition event. The project was made in partnership with Qnusyho, a registered NGO based in Istanbul, which notably conducts activities for improving the integration of Syrian refugees. Culture for Peace was fully funded by the Davis Projects for Peace’s grant with no other fund-raising efforts. I. Project’s contribution for a lasting peace: The project, at its small level, tried to contribute to a long-term peace in three ways: First, by highlighting the beauty and the rich culture of the Middle-East that was shadowed by wars and civil strives. By changing the negative vision of the Middle-East, the project aimed at encouraging the children to develop hope and confidence when it comes to the future of their countries (especially the Syrians). Second, by bringing together children from different communities, the project wanted to encourage the kids to overcome racism, and to be open to inter-community dialogue. Finally, by enhancing the children’s great potential through educational and artistic activities, the project aimed to motivate them for envisioning their life goals (despite their complex social and financial situations). II. Project’s program and activities: All the activities were designed to develop the learning and artistic skills of the children. The program was divided into four weeks, each of them focusing on one category of activities: First week “learning for peace” (07/16/2019 -07/20/2019): During the first week, the children were introduced to the ancient civilizations of the Middle-East. These classes aimed to show them how ancient and beautiful their region. The first week’s classes focused on the following civilizations: the Sumerians, the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Achaemenids, the Phoenicians, the Sassanids, the Byzantines, and the Ottomans. The goal was also to show to the children how much their neighbours, despite religious or other differences, are close to them (since the classes were about civilizations originating from different countries of the region – such as Egypt, Irak, Iran, Syria, and Turkey). At the end of the week, the children passed an exam to measure what they learned. Most of them succeeded very well, getting impressive grades, except three. These three kids could then review all the things they have missed with the team: later, they passed the exam again to make sure they learned everything well. Second week “exploring for peace” (07/22/2019-07/26/2019): During the second week, the children have been to museums and historical places of Istanbul. These excursions aimed to show the beauty of Istanbul to the children, and to help them to learn more about where they live (especially for the refugee children). In the long term, such initiative’s goal is to make them realize how much their cultural heritage is important and must be preserved from war and destructions. The places visited that week were the following: Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cisterns, Sultanahmet Mosque, the Archaeological Museum of Istanbul, the Zeyrek Mosque, and the Chora Church. Third week “creating for peace” (07/29/2019-08/02/2019): During the third week, the children could express their full potential. After learning about the ancient history of their region and exploring historical places, they created pieces of art relating to the ancient architecture of the Middle-East (with a focus on Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Egypt). This week’s goal was to help the children from the three different communities to get close and to understand their common roots through art. Fourth week “cooperation for peace” (08/05/2019-08/09/2019): During the fourth week, the children cooperated with each other in order to organize an exhibition event of their paintings. Based on the artistic work they did the week before, they spent two days preparing their own paintings with the thematic of their choice among the architectural and historical things they studied (such as the pyramids, the old mosques, the old sculptures of the Archaeological museum of Istanbul, etc.). The third day was dedicated to the exhibition event, which took place in Taksim, a neighbourhood located in the center of Istanbul. More precisely, the exhibition was in Dam, a co-working space with a beautiful view on one of the main streets of the city. On the fourth day, a trip to the forest was organized for celebrating the end of the program and gathering the children, their mothers, and the team together. The last day, a small ceremony took place during which the children received a certification for having participated into the program. This day was also the occasion to review together all the things they learned and places they visited. III. The ideas and motivation that led to this project: While completing my last semester at Columbia University (Spring 2018), I launched Rebuild the Middle- East during a speech at International House New York. This initiative’s goal was to show the beauty of the Middle-East through a website and videos on beautiful places and ancient civilizations of the region. When I submitted my project to Davis Projects for Peace, I saw this project as a practical application of Rebuild the Middle-East since Culture for Peace mostly consisted into teaching the ancient history of the region to the children. Furthermore, the values I wanted to promote through this project were hard work, interest into learning new things, tolerance, and discipline. The more children get used to study and to lead efforts, the more they will succeed in their future lives and be able to undertake the necessary tasks for rebuilding countries affected by war. This is why the program contained numerous historical courses, artistic activities and museum’s visits. IV. Challenges faced during the project: Two issues were faced during the project. During the first day, because the program was very busy and some children could not speak Turkish perfectly, it was complicated to make them focus on the historical courses. To make the presentations more accessible, I reduced the text and added many pictures to illustrate it. Along with my team (especially Attila who used to be a history teacher when he was younger), we made sure to give interactive presentations to the kids so that they all participate. At the end of the first week, only three children failed the exam, and, with the team and the Qnushyo’s staff, we made them review again the courses they have not learned well enough. Another issue occurred during the second week: while we were visiting Hagia Sophia, Syrian and Turkish kids fought against each other. These tensions initially appeared because of misunderstanding between the Syrian and the Turkish children. The next day, the NGO’s staff and our team reminded the children how important respect was and that they should learn to live together no matter what. Following that, they stopped fighting, and the Syrian kid and the Turkish kid that started the fight even became close friends, spending most of their time together. V. The city of Istanbul: The project focused on the historical and cultural heritage of the Middle-East. Hence, Istanbul was the perfect place for leading such project, since numerous important places are all located there (like the Hagia Sophia, the Chora Church or the Blue Mosque). Overall, working in a beautiful country like Turkey for this project has been a great experience. In addition, Istanbul is the city chosen for the project because it hosts an important community of Syrian refugees (at least 560,000 are registered in the city) as well as Turkish and Kurdish people.

    Global Heritage Fund Turkey: The World’s Earliest Cities & Temples September 14 - 23, 2013 Global Heritage Fund Turkey: The World’s Earliest Cities & Temples September 14 - 23, 2013 To overstate the depth of Turkey’s culture or the richness of its history is nearly impossible. At the crossroads of two continents, home to some of the world’s earliest and most influential cities and civilizations, Turkey contains multi- tudes. The graciousness of its people is legendary—indeed it’s often said that to call a Turk gracious is redundant—and perhaps that’s no surprise in a place where cultural exchange has been taking place for millennia. From early Neolithic ruins to vibrant Istanbul, the karsts and cave-towns of Cappadocia to metropolitan Ankara, Turkey is rich in treasure for the inquisi- tive traveler.

  • Conversion of Kariye Museum to Mosque in Turkey
    Conversion of Kariye Museum to Mosque in Turkey August 24, 2020 A month after turning the iconic Hagia Sophia museum, originally a cathedral, into a mosque, Turkey’s government has decided to convert another Byzantine monument in Istanbul, which has been a museum for over 70 years, into a working mosque. Late last year, the Council of State, the highest administrative court in Turkey, had removed legal hurdles for the Chora (Kariye) museum’s reconversion into a mosque. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose Islamist AK Party has long called for the reconversion of the Ottoman-era mosques that were secularised by Kemalists, signed a decree, transferring the management of the medieval monument to the Directorate of Islamic Affairs. Kariye Museum Originally built in the early 4th century as a chapel outside the city walls of Constantinople built by Constantine the Great, the Chora Church was one of the oldest religious monuments of the Byzantine era and of eastern Orthodox Christianity. It’s believed that the land where the chapel was built was the burial site of Babylas of Antioch, a saint of Eastern Christians, and his disciples. Emperor Justinian I, who built Hagia Sophia during 532-537, reconstructed Chora after the chapel had been ruined by an earthquake. Since then, it has been rebuilt many times. Today’s structure is considered to be at least 1,000 years old. Maria Doukaina, the mother-in-law of Emperor Alexios Komnenos I, launched a renovation project in the 11th century. She rebuilt Chora into the shape of a quincunx, five circles arranged in a cross which was considered a holy shape during the Byzantine era.

Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

    Patrimonio y Desarrollo. Estudios De la gloria de Bizancio a la Capitalidad Europea de la Cultura. Estrategias de intervención urbana en Estambul From Byzance´s glory to the European Capital of Culture. Urban intervention strategies in Istanbul María Pilar García Cuetos Profesora Titular, Universidad de Oviedo Resumen Las casas tradicionales de madera de Estambul constituyen una parte fundamental del patrimonio de la ciudad, pero desde los años cincuenta del siglo XX han ido desapareciendo, sustituidas por estructuras de hormigón. A partir de los años setenta, varios proyectos de restauración han intentado salvarlas, siguiendo concepciones muy diferentes sobre la restauración, sobre el concepto de la autenticidad y sobre la idea de ciudad. Desde las restauraciones basadas en la demolición/reconstrucción y en la recreación de escenarios urbanos para turistas, hasta las intervenciones que aúnan desarrollo social y recuperación patrimonial, se analizan las diversas estrategias de intervención en la ciudad. Palabras clave: Estambul, restauración, casas de madera, recuperación urbana, autenticidad. Abstract Traditional wooden houses are a fundamental part of Istambul heritage, but from the fifties of the 20th century they have been disappearing, replaced with structures of concrete. From the seventies, several restoration projects have tried to protect them, following different conceptions on restoration, on the concept of the authenticity, and on the idea of the city. From restorations based on the demolition / reconstruction and on the recreation of urban scenes for tourists, up to the interventions that join social development and cultural heritage restoration, the strategies of intervention in the city are analyzed. Keywords: Istanbul, restoration, wooden houses, urban intervention, authenticity.

Risks for the historic urban topography of Istanbul, especially by a series of high- rise buildings threatening the historic urban silhouette, were already presented in Heritage at Risk 2006/2007 (see the visual impact as- sessment study by Astrid Debold-Kritter on pp. 159 –164). In the last years, dynamic development and transformation have changed the metropolitan areas with a new scale of building inter- ventions and private investments. Furthermore, the privatisation of urban areas and the development of high-rise buildings with large ground plans or in large clusters have dramatically increased. orld eritagea,,eerules and standards set upby arely knownconveyrthe ap- provedConflicts in managing the World Heritage areas of Istanbul Metropolis derive from changing the law relevant for the core area- sisthe .

  • The Life of Mary Cycle at the Chora Church and Historical Pre- Occupations with the Chastity of the Virgin Mary in Byzantium
    1 Purity as a Pre-requisite for Praise: The Life of Mary Cycle at the Chora Church and Historical Pre- Occupations with the Chastity of the Virgin Mary in Byzantium Elizabeth Fortune AH 4119 Natif 12-6-2013 2 In this paper I will explore historical preoccupations with the physical purity of the Virgin Mary within Christian Byzantium. My discussion will focus on the second-century apocryphal gospel the Protoevangelium of James, Cappadocian theology, and the role of women within Byzantine society. I will ground my exploration within the context of historical debates regarding the status of the Virgin in the Early Christian Church. I will particularly discuss Mary’s significance as the Theotokos (God-bearer)within Byzantium, as it was necessarily informed and justified by perpetual assertions regarding the purity and sanctity of Mary’s physical body. I will utilize the decorative program of the Chora Church in Istanbul as a visual manifestation of perpetual concerns with Mary’s purity within Christian Byzantium. As the resident monastic order at the Chora, Cappadocian devotion to the Virgin necessarily influenced the iconographic and thematic content of the church’s decorative program.1 The particular nature of Cappadocian Marian devotion is thus relevant to my discussion of the Life of Mary Cycle, the Protoevangelium, and the Virgin’s role as Theotokos within Byzantium and the Eastern Church. In order to contextualize the Life of Mary cycle at the Chora, I will briefly investigate other historical and contemporary visual examples of the subject. I will then discuss one mosaic scene from the Life of Mary cycle at Chora: the Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple (fig.

  • Visibility Model of Tangible Heritage. Visualization of the Urban Heritage Environment with Spatial Analysis Methods
    heritage Article Visibility Model of Tangible Heritage. Visualization of the Urban Heritage Environment with Spatial Analysis Methods Elif Sarihan Department of Civil Engineering, University of Debrecen, 4028 Debrecen, Hungary; [email protected] Abstract: The methodological approach of the study proposes an innovative yet adaptive way to define and preserve heritage sites and their elements. In the case study, the proposed methodology guides the design/planning research of heritage sites by linking the perceptual behaviour with the information of the built environment. Visibility is the tool to measure the level of exposure of specific urban elements from a particular perspective. While isovist analyses define visibility in the built environment, fields of view from the periphery of heritage sites are applied to calculate visible or invisible areas by the observer. The purpose of the current study is the evaluation of the identification of the elements to be protected, by modelling both the heritage environment and the heritage elements according to the visibility criteria. For this purpose, I illustrate my approach by using visibility analyses and Space syntax analysis in the case of the Sulukule neighbourhood, the leading renewal project, in Istanbul. This area used to have notably cultural–historical assets–historic land walls, the lifestyle of Roma people—but now the renovation works carried out in the Sulukule case study site have affected the identity of the “visible” and “known” space of the historic quarter. Keywords: visibility analysis; isovist; field of view; urban heritage; built environment; Istanbul Citation: Sarihan, E. Visibility Model of Tangible Heritage.

  • The Lamentation of Santa Sophia Marios Philippides
    Tears of the Great Church: The Lamentation of Santa Sophia Marios Philippides URING THE PERIOD of the Ottoman occupation, the so- called Tourkokratia, the Greeks expressed their concerns D in folk songs, whose numerous variants were gradually collected and published in the nineteenth century to form an impressive corpus. Some songs reach back all the way to the last years of Byzantine Greece before its fall to the Ottoman Turks. One song in particular achieved a great deal of pop- ularity and perhaps qualifies as the most popular demotic song among Greek-speakers of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth. The poem is well known, but it has not received the scholarly attention it deserves. Entitled [The Song] of Santa Sophia, it is thought to describe the situation shortly before the fall of Constantinople to Sultan Mehmed II Fatih on May 29, 1453. This song survived orally and was finally recorded in the nineteenth century. Numerous versions existed in the eighteenth century; its nucleus dates to the period of the fall of Constantinople. I will attempt to demonstrate that at least one form of this poem dates to a specific event in 1452, six months before the conquest of Constantinople. Numerous variations of this poem have been collected.1 Fau- riel, in the first edition, presented a short version.2 Pouqueville 1 Variants from numerous regions are collected in A. Kriares, Πλήρηϛ Συλλογὴ Κρητικῶν Δηµωδῶν Ἀσµάτων (Athens 1920). A version was pub- lished in C. A. Trypanis, The Penguin Book of Greek Verse (Harmondsworth 1971) 469–470, no.

  • BİZANS MİRASI MİMARLIK VE SANAT Genco Berkin1
    IJSHS, 2018; 2 (2): 53-64 53 BİZANS MİRASI MİMARLIK VE SANAT Genco Berkin1 ÖZET Bizans mimarisi, yapı, ikon ve mozaik sanatları açısından çok zengindir. Bizans mimarisi başta Avrupa ve Amerika olmak üzere birçok yapıya esin kaynağı olmuştur. Bu yüzden üzerinde daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerekmektedir. Bizans mimarisi ve sanatı yeni bir akım olan Neo-Bizans akımını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bizans mimarisi 15. Ve 19. Yüzyılda Avrupa mimarisini derinden etkilemiştir. Bizans mimarisinin Doğu ve Batı kültürlerinin gelişmesi ve ilerlemesi üzerinde büyük katkısı olmuştur. Bu çalışmada geçmiş ve bugünün Doğu-Batı mimari etkileşimleri karşılıklı olarak irdelenmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Bizans Mimarisi, Bizans Mozaikleri, Neo Bizans Akımı THE LEGACY OF BYZANTINE ARCHITECTURE AND ART ABSTRACT Byzantine architecture is extraordinarily rich in terms of the buildings, iconography and mosaics that have survived in the course of two millennia. Byzantine architecture and art was overlooked for a long period. Byzantine influence on architecture and art has widespread through Europe and America. Byzantine influence on several professions consisted of architecture, paintings, poetry, decorations and jewelry. Byzantine architecture and art was so spectacular that in the following eras it whether created a revival or became the spring of Neo- Byzantine style. Byzantine architecture had impressions on European Architecture from 15th century to 19th century. Byzantine Empire has served as a bridge of cultural transportation between East and West civilizations
